When I was starting out processing, I wanted to make a timer without all of the millis() stuff(which I still don’t understand well enough to use) and I came up with an interesting example of a design. No idea if this would work implemented in a game or not.
float s=0;
float w=0.0152;
void draw() {
background(204);
s+=w;
fill(0);
textSize(30);
text(floor(s),200,100);}
